Overview
The PACSystems
™
RX3i PROFINET Controller module, IC695PNC001 or PNC001, connects a PACSystems
RX3i controller to a high-speed PROFINET local area network. It enables the RX3i controller to communicate
with I/O devices on the LAN. The PNC001 provides all the functions, services, and protocols required for
certification as a PROFINET I/O Version 2.2 I/O Controller, running at both 100 Mbps and 1 Gbps.
The PNC001 supports 10/100/1000 Mbps Copper, 100/1000 Mbps Multi-mode Fiber, and 100/1000 Mbps
Single-mode Fiber. The LAN can include media interfaces of more than one type. PROFINET
communications on the LAN require 100 and 1000 Mbps link speed. 10 Mbps cannot be used for PROFINET
communications. However, 10 Mbps can be used for other types of Ethernet traffic such as ping and telnet.
Features of the RX3i PNC001 include:
•
Full configuration services for the RX3i PROFINET Controller, plus all connected Emerson and third-
party I/O-Devices using PAC Machine Edition (PME).
•
Firmware upgrades using the WinLoader software utility (if the host CPU has a serial port) or using a
Web-based tool (if the host CPU has no serial port). Instructions are included with the firmware
upgrade kit.
•
Support for star, ring, and daisy-chain/line network topologies.
•
Four switched Ethernet ports - two 8-conductor RJ-45 shielded twisted pair 10/100/1000 Mbps
copper interfaces and two Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) cages for user-supplied SFP devices.
•
Internal clock synchronized with the RX3i CPU for time-stamped diagnostics entries.
•
Restart the pushbutton to manually restart the PNC001 without power cycling the system.
•
LEDs: OK, LAN, STATUS, CONFIG, ACTIVE, and Port LEDs.
•
Compliant with EU RoHS Directive using the following exemptions identified in the Annex: 7c-I and
7c-III.
